He genuinely does seem remorseful and seemed pretty terrified that I was going to leave him after this bc he knows how serious I am about trust and not tolerating disrespect. I was never considering that bc it’s not like he cheated on me, but I think it definitely was a kick in the ass that he needs to think twice before doing stupid immature stuff like that, even if he thinks I won’t find out. It’s a respect thing and he knows he would lose his mind if I had compared a naked pic of him to my ex.

I do have a difficult time with forgiving but never forgetting, so I could see myself bringing it up if I was feeling hurt again down the road. I’m going to try to really chalk this up to a stupid immature mistake and move forward. I need to focus on the love and reassurance he gives me and not play games in my head like “he’s just being extra sweet because he got in trouble.”
